Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell 55:15
Trivia: According to Psalm 18, what came out of God's nostrils?
141:1-10
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Listen to me, God, when I'm talking to you.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Don't let me eat evil peoples' dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Let righteous people smite me. [1]
It won't break my head.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Trap the wicked people in their own nets,
but let me escape.

Chapter pagesd are split into two columns. On the left is the text of the King James Version of the Bible, and on the right is my summary of the text. There are also links to the footnotes, which can be found below the text and summary columns. The footnotes provide additional information about the material in the text, with external links, YouTube videos, etc.
In the header of every chapter page you'll find a "Bible Books" drop-down menu that displays the books in the Bible, with links to the chapters in each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This allows you to go to any chapter in the Bible from any chapter page. And there are forward and back arrows at the top and bottom of every chapter page that will take you to the next chapter of the book.
There is also a small scripture book icon on the upper right corner of each chapter page. Clicking that will open a pop-up that provides links to all the chapters in that chapter's book. Clicking on the book icon again will close the pop-up.
Each chapter includes one or more section headings on the left, with category icons on the right. Clicking on these icons displays a list of category items in that section. (I am currently working on this feature, so some of the chapter pages will display the category items for the entire chapter, rather than for the section alone.
Since the print size of the text on chapter pages is rather small on most mobile devices, it may be easier to read when viewing in landscape mode. Of course, you can always pinch to enlarge when necessary.
